Vince Cable today (3 November 2014) marked the start of the second Tomorrow’s Engineers Week by confirming the government’s commitment to invest in training the engineers of the future.
Speaking at the start of a week of activity that seeks to challenge the perceptions of engineering among young people, their parents and teachers, the Business Secretary announced that government and employers are working together to develop the engineering workforce Britain needs to compete on the world stage. Acting on the recommendations of ‘Perkins Review of Engineering Skills’ published in November 2013, the government has established partnerships with employers from across industry with multi-million pound collaborative investments in initiatives such as national colleges for manufacturing, energy and high-speed rail and £30 million of match funding for businesses to design and deliver innovative skills training. Business Secretary Vince Cable said at the Shell Centre London: Notes to editors.

Smallpeice Trust: Engineering Courses and Careers - Securing Tomorrow's Workforce. Yesterday thirty 13 and 14 year olds descended on the Houses of Parliament to showcase winning examples of renewable energy wind turbines at the launch of our new industry report “Securing Tomorrow's Workforce ”, which has been prepared to highlight the importance of STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) education and training to Britain's future.
Also attending the event was over 100 guests from government, industry and education. During the event Chief Executive of The Smallpeice Trust Dr Andrew Cave, Charles Hendry, Minister of State for Department of Energy & Climate Change and Chris White MP for Warwick and Leamington all spoke of the importance of inspiring young people to think about a career within the STEM sector for the sake of the future of the UK's economy highlighting figures such as the need to fill 640,000 new STEM jobs by 2017.
The event concluded with the testing of the students wind turbine by Charles Hendry. IET scholarship scheme invests in tomorrow’s engineers. Nearly half of this year’s IET Diamond Jubilee Scholarships have been awarded to female engineering students.
An additional £1.2 million is being invested by the IET and its partners in the UK’s up and coming engineering talent over the next five years. The IET Diamond Jubilee Scholarship scheme is now in its second year, and follows the £2 million figure that the IET has already invested last year. The scholarships will provide each winner with at least £1,000 per academic year. Tomorrow's Engineers Week. 04th November 2014 Coordinated efforts are being made across the UK this week to change perceptions of engineering among young people, parents and teachers.
Here at IntaPeople we are big supporters of ‘Tomorrow’s Engineers Week’ 2014. Launched last year by the Department for Business Innovation and Skills (DBIS), in partnership with the engineering community, last year’s activities involved over 70 engineering organisations, 65 events or local activities, and over 200 schools. Tomorrow's Engineers. Shell launches £1m investment to expand Tomorrow’s Engineers programme Shell launches £1m investment to expand Tomorrow’s Engineers programme. Energy giant Shell has launched its new £1 million investment programme aimed at addressing Scotland's skills shortages in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).
The Tomorrow’s Engineers programme aims to provide hands-on engineering experience to pupils aged between 11-14 years old as industry looks to fill an estimated 160,000 engineering jobs by 2020. Shell estimates the average UK annual shortfall in those with engineering skills is currently running at circa 81,000 and estimates between 2010 and 2020 Scotland will need to recruit 160,000 people with engineering skills to meet expected demand. This will mean doubling the current number of graduate and apprenticeship engineers. The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills said it would make £49 million available to boost engineering skills, which had included £250,000 to fund the Tomorrow’s Engineers programme.
